Yessir! I have the fluid film ready for application!

I live about 200m from the ocean in a hot and humid climate. The strong breeze brings a steady spray of droplets that coats everything and gets everywhere. A piece of bare metal will start to rust in days if left outside, and some mornings when I come out to the car, I cannot see outside...

Quite a bit of information in that post Art. Thanks for this. I'd also like to add to what you have said to check the health of the main battery before you purchase this or any electric powered car. My 2017 has 22,000 miles.

Sounds like a better install solution than having it mounted where the initial poster wanted to place his. Additionally, road grime from wet roads, dust, etc would get onto the lense if mounted low down and exposed like that.

sounds like you have a bad 12v battery

lol you replied!!! Have a great day! lol

One time I was working on my pickup truck about 5 years ago. I was using a 10mm 1/4 socket while working on the battery. The socket fell from me. It was not a fall through, unfortunately...it never hit the ground. Took off the engine guard, looked around everywhere. Subsequent to that did...

The frunk of my i3 is not weatherproof. As a result leaves, rain, road grime, and the whole lot gets inside of there. It is dirty to the touch. I would definitely not put food in there.

The new compressor that I installed had a build date of April 2020.

It would be interesting to learn what compressor the new i3 is shipping with.

Why people don't keep promises they make on the internet, I'll never understand.

Mahle Behr does make compressors for the i3. The replacement that I have installed over the weekend was from them, not the original one from Hannon Systems.

What's the final update?

On my 2017 i3, the original compressor was manufactured by Hanon Systems, Portugal. In recent years, there has been a consolidation in the ac systems space. There have been takeovers of businesses by other businesses, so Mahle Behr may now be in cahoots. Never know, through the structure of...

Lucky you. My buddy dropped the cap for the AC low-pressure Schrader valve a similar way to your incident. We both heard it hit the metallic plate. I drove the car aggressively back and forth. Jacked up the front of the car. Removed that pan. Unbolted a black plastic piece. No luck. The...

I have an update for you. On Friday I had the R1234YF recovered at my friend's shop. Strangely enough, only 785 grams of gas came out. Yesterday, Saturday, I swapped out the compressors. "Out with the old, and in with the new!" - Chrisfix. Headed back to my friend's shop to have the system...

I recently had off the rear right side tire and noticed a bolt 2 bolts holding something onto the body of the car that had rust on them. When I open the front trunk area, I notice what looks to be the wiper motors in an aluminum housing, and I am seeing some aluminum oxidation. There's also a...

The solenoid is not visible from the outside on the i3 compressor. I have to take apart the old one to get to know her from the inside. Who knows, may not even have a solenoid. I'm thinking it's just the windings for the motor in there.

So I have come to realize that there was another failure of the i3 airconditioning compressor earlier this month in this area. The tech that worked on it recognized the color and asked if it was the same car that was in for the replacement earlier. Anyways, he said that there is a solenoid...

I have just researched flushing. Got it sorted!
